Roasted chestnuts


I tried my first roasted chestnut this fall and I really liked it! Carlos and I found them at the Amish organic farm booth at Eastern Market (I think they still have them too!).

1. Cut a slit in each chestnut.
2. Place on a baking pan.
3. Broil in oven for about 10 minutes.
4. Peel and eat!

These are cool little nuts and the taste reminds me of a cross between a sweet potato and honey-baked ham. We should have these every holiday season!

PS. Did you know that goombas in the Super Mario Nintendo games are called "kuribo," which means "chestnut people?" They are supposed to be little walking chestnuts~
